Hey everybody,
I am the kid who was asking you guys about what i should do about getting a new car and all. Well, I was looking all over the place and finally found an awesome BMW. It's a 1976 2002. For those of you who are dedicated BMW enthusiasts, you better know what that is. haha, I've loved those cars for three years now when i first saw one and now i finally own one. I'm very excited. It does have a few problems tho. It has an oil leak that im gonna have to take care of here pretty soon, but i want to put a new cam in it and put on some duel-weber carbs to get some more horsepower. the only set-back there is, 1:money. and two: i need to find an air-filter for the webers. im not about to go driving around and letting all that crap go into my engine. so right now im looking at having to have a custom made air filter but im turning 16 tomorrow and i dont really have a lot of money. especially since i bought the car myself and im not getting any financial help from anyone. so does anyone know about an ari-filter that i could get that wont dig my own financial grave?
thanks,
Clete

Sweet:) Nice choice for your first car! We'll need pictures very soon! (I don't know anything about the carbs, but if you're getting new ones, shouldn't the filters come with them?)

Well, the thing about the carbs is that i already own them. and thats the reason the pervious owner took them off, because he didn't have an air filter that fit. I heard about these foam inserts that you can just put straight into the openings of the four carbs, but i dont know if they'll be able to do the job or not.

Awesome buy, a few years back I started staring at a 2002 and the owner asked if anything is wrong, got into a whole convo, showed me the car, it is a great car, especially if you bring it to tip top shape, good luck. Now get us some pics.

Hey guys, sorry about not having any pictures. I've been working really hard and haven't had time to do anything but eat, work and sleep. Plus I have no clue where the digital camera went. I've been looking but can't find it. Oh, and i'll have to look into the info on the webers. Meaning i have to go find 'em in the garage and measrue it. lol. i'll try to do that now actually. but my brother might have moved them so i gotta go look.
